Antinomianism

The Church Handy Dictionary by Anonymous (1890)

ANTINOMIANISM. (literally "against law ") The doctrine or opinion that the Elect (see Calvinism ) are freed from obligation to keep the Law of God. A power or privilege is asserted for the elect to do what they please without prejudice to their sanctity; it being maintained that to them nothing is sinful, and this is represented as the perfection of Christian Liberty. History shows, as was to be expected, that this doctrine has borne the most disastrous fruits among those who have embraced it.
